Talk of the Town: Mayor for a day

If you were offered the job of being mayor of Fullerton for just a day, what would you do? What would you change?

We asked a few residents, and here's what they came up with.

"I would implement a better transportation system – bus, metro anything. I would also put city maps in the streets."

– Mohamed Awadi, 25, Fullerton, Cal State Fullerton student

"I'd like to see more money go to schools and education. (I would also) be more strict on crime. I see a lot of tagging and I don't like to see that in my city."

– Raul Perez, 27, Fullerton, accountant for Western Dental

"I honestly have no idea, but I think he should look at taxes because it's really killing people. That's what I would do as mayor."

– David Lee, Fullerton, retired

"If I was mayor for a day in Fullerton, I would try to improve public school safety and pay more attention to that. Safety of kids is important, especially these days. I would go about doing that by implementing more safety measures in school policy."

– Leo An, 27, Fullerton, import company employee

"The county is looking to bring in a homeless shelter, and they're going to be purchasing a site. If I was the mayor of Fullerton, I would work with the county to make sure we do that in the most thoughtful, well-intentioned way, so that we bring in the services to our community but don't impact the neighborhood in a negative way."

"I'm no expert in politics, but I'm an expert in food. If I were the mayor of Fullerton, I would make it mandatory for every restaurant to put bacon on their burgers. I love bacon on anything, but I love bacon cheeseburgers. I would make it mandatory in honor of the mayor, just for that week."
